Be calm bro. Give your self some time to heal, you might want to check the Miseducation threadon the romance section. It will unveil the unknown to you so you can get your mind braced up. Also, you need to clear out the assumption that all girls are the same, its a just a fallacy [hasty generalization]

Ok. Thanks. I'll do so. Thank you

Spill it out mate

Tell us what u discovered "she has been doing"

She was a hoe. She slept with multiple people. She claimed she was a virgin lol

Robertgreene1:
women are just s*x toys...they always go 2 d highest bidder..

I don't what to do. She was like the only one. Like its just like I'm going to be starting afresh

Well, am not used to this section. But something came up.
My girlfriend and i had been dating for a year. We are one of the weirdest couple you will ever meet. Alot of outsiders don't believe this except our close friends.
She is a Christian, a deeper life member and I'm Sunni Muslim.
We've been dating for a year. She is the most amazing creature i ever met apart from my Mum. She does not complain, she just show love, care, affection and always attentive. I used to think we will end up married. I'd made sure she is always comfortable. Always been there for her.
She's a Nurse. I am a Software engineer. So i just said let me check her Facebook account out. Damn. I was shocked at what i saw. She was always calm with me. I didn't know she was a "pro". She always acted innocent. It looks like a nightmare right now. I couldn't believe what she has been doing. We even knew each other families. I didn't know she could just lie.
Damn. I have lost interest in dating. I don't know what to do

You are still validating my claim that the are weak and most of their operations are aimed at PRs. They are sacrificing manpower and resources to show that they can still hurt.
It is very possible for them to capture and hold Maiduguri for a few hours but the human and capital cost will be so great that they won't be able to capture any other town several months.
To capture a town as large as maiduguri, it will require thousands of men and for a town that has a ditch around it, the terrorists have very few entery points meaning they will be massed up in few locations ;easy pickings for airforce and in a town with airbase, the aircrafts will have room to expend ammunition, return to base to resupply and fly out again to kill more terrorists. If the terrorists eventually gets victory, it will be worse than a phyrric victory.

Even in the height of the insurgency, when the terrorists controlled more than 10 times the area they control today, they were unable to capture Maiduguri. The number of troops in the city alone is enough to deter any attacks on the city. The only thing they can do is what they've been doing. Hit and run attacks and launching mortars and rockets into the city and ambushing traffics leaving or entering the city.

True. My point here is that, it will be disastrous. There will be collateral damage. Alot of our civilians will lose their lives. We better avert this. This scenario would gain them more than cheap propaganda. It will be an international embarrassment

Nigeria is really funny

jpphilips:
What the politicians are doing in partisanship doesn't concern the military, Military has a job to do, they should get on with it.
Nigeria isn't more partisan than the US, it doesn't make their military lose focus.

I do understand what you mean. The Military is supposed to be apolitical according to "true definitions". In our Nigerian context, we all know that the military is political. In fact, democracy has made the military look like a paramilitary organization and a political tool. We have loyalist of politicians in the high ranks of our military.
Globally, war itself is politics. The Nigerian context is only worse. The civilian intelligence agencies capabilities has deteriorated deeply. We must understand that this war isn't against the Nigerian military, its not against the Nigerian government. Its against the existence of the Federal Republic of Nigeria and its people. If the civilians and public can contribute 60%, then the war is won.

SamuelAnyawu:
A Full offensive should begin in Borno state.. Do we have military intelligence? I saw a video of soldiers showing dead BH with mobile phones in their pockets. Can we track this numbers to know who they call and what communication goes on?

Intel is very necessary

True. Do we have full intel? No. Can we get full intel? Yes. Do we want to have full intel? Maybe.
Terrorists have more intel than us right now in the theatre, alot of Borno citizens are on their payroll. We allowed it happened. We could shut down comms for months and run this military ops. In some cases, we know the enemy's position but we don't know his move. How would we know his next move when our very own large intelligence agencies have been politicized. I'll give it to DMI they are tering their best with also NA intelligence corp.
DSS supposed to be actively in the field, what about NIA? i haven't heard from them a long time now.
We lost the momentum when we politicized this war. Politicians used this war for to score cheap points in inter-party politics. Our intelligence, sincerely has failed. Those agencies have a lot of fifth columnists.

Some comments here says, ISWAP is dying down and being limited to carry out hit and run operations. I feel its not so.
What's the main objective of ISWAP? It's to create a caliphate. The wanna achieve it with all costs.
Right now, the North Eastern theatre is relatively quiet. But i do think ISWAP is preparing for something big.
In the coming weeks , ISWAP might strike a neighbouring nation, most likely Niger, unless they might surprise us in Cameroon. The will seize large cache of weapons. They might strike our FOBs and ambush our patrols, seizing weapons. This might be in line for the big operation coming in few months time. That's the capture of maiduguri. ISWAP might attack maiduguri from multiple axis in a nocturnal attack. Cutting off Maiduguri from damaturu by taking the Maiduguri - damaturu highway and taking out our posts there. It will be deadly. ISWAP want to hold the town. Even if its for 24hrs. They wanna show that we can still be hurt. It will be disastrous even if we can take them out. Their will be a lot of stragglers.
In other to avert this, we must commence offensive operations immediately.

Seems @joscofelix2 "operation" might be led by the twin lieutenant colonels. One of the twins

cutievik:
I don't know what to talk about again...Too many lapses, the most common, when you pass check points and see the vehicles with machine guns unmanned, you begin to imagine, if this guy's on stop and search come under attack certainly, the vehicles are gone because they would be abandoned with such cache of weapons.

The painful ones are the APC's left lying fallow outside barracks or police stations unmanned, the believe a parked unmanned vehicle is a deterrent...hahahah, Nigeria too like eyeservice sha, so if I hardened criminal Unknown Gunmen see parked APC them go run? we all saw a video recently in imo state where the new MRAP that was delivered was patrolling on the road without a gunner, in Imo state ooo!, Where wahala dey..

My guy, these issue deeep

True. Some of our NCOs don't realize that the Nigerian population is getting more militarized daily. Those days when an APC had a psychological effect on the civilians is slowly phasing out. Anytime an APC passes by a Nigerian lay man would say "oboy see armor tanks", "army carry nuclear weapons pass today o". All these misinformation is phasing out because people like you and i are getting more informed daily, thanks to social media.
Indiscipline has eaten into our system. We have said it countless times here. The truth is, our heads know what to do. They don't or they can't. Maybe they have given up or they are enjoying it

Seen that some of the guntrucks were not moved from where they were parked, it shows the soldiers didn't even bother to fight back.

Damn. Look at that Ezugwu APC that we were proud of. Its insulting to see it in Enemy hands

SamuelAnyawu:
Chabbal attack. Not up to 2km away from the biggest Army barracks in Maiduguri (Maimalari Barracks)

Its really bad

Litmus:
Then we had better find resources same place ISWAP will find enough to cut off an entire city in the hope of holding it.

In Nigerian Army military tactics in the 80's, "you don't capture a location, without the intent of holding it". This is a war of attrition. We are losing good men. We are not even following doctrine sometimes and we don't even imprivise sometimes. We need to counter attack anytime we are attacked. Let's show the enemy that they can be hurt too. We need to intesify patrols. I don't think we are low on ammunition. Let's fight like a real Nigerian infantry. In many cases, the enemy is separating our infantry from our armour and Artillery support because the enemy knows we will be disorganized without those supports. God help us

Seems a Nigerian Army base was overrun 6km from the NAF base Maiduguri.
ISWAP is using envelopment tactics. Soon Maiduguri might be cut off(Godforbid). It will be disastrous. Our supply lines are not even secured. We don't have enough resources to defend the city in that scenario. We need to act fast

fabselad:
The Ethiopian army (ENDF) is facing heavy loses in the battles with the Tigray Defense Forces (TDF)

Today, they have lost a C-130H military transport plane after it had been shot down by MANPAD

Few days earlier, hundreds of the ENDF personnel were captured/killed by the TDF.

Damn. That's a bad situation. Losing a c-130h? not good

If na you, I bet you for don open thread on nairaland.

Lol. Was just bluffing. Its fraud

shadowprimezero:
I'm sorry, but I feel as though you have a very limited understanding of the dynamics at play, especially pertaining to the insurgency and the general disposition of the average almajiri in the North. The lot of them dont even know anything about the ideological differences between ISWA and JAS, nor do they have a clear picture of the conflict in the NE.

Most of them are students of "fiqh" and "sunnah" of which the vast majority of the teachings in the curriculum run against the ideologies of non-state actors in the NE. To lump them all together is a flawed view that fails to take into context, the peculiarities of each. The way I see it, you argument is without merit.

I understand your point. Let me clarify my write up.
The average Northern Nigerian Almajiri is in the quest to gain more Islamic knowledge. In the process, most of them at a young age leave their families in this quest. Most of this Almajiris don't wanna hurt no one. They got no business with terrorism and politics. But some, i repeat, some Mallams and Scholars give them a twisted ideology. They don't preach the undiluted fundamentals of Islam to the Almajiris. These corrupt mallams and scholars, whose quests are to have more followers and power lure and twist the Almajiris to his will.
In Kano, people classify terrorists as the same. But with the advent of ISWAP, i have met few locals talking about Albarniwi. You have to understand that Mohammed Yusuf had vast support initially because he wasn't violent. He didn't hurt locals.
These locals i met dealt with drugs. There is a line drug "highway" from Zinder to Kano. This line supplies bandits in the
region to and fro. This is bigger than what we think. My point is the average Almajiri isn't a bad person. Its the system that makes him a potential weapon.

Damn. J town isn't clean no more. No thanks to unemployment

NafeesaAA:
You clearly don't know what you're saying. How many Almajiri kids knows the difference between BHT and ISWAP in Kano? The same Kano that BHT had the stiffest resistance from the locals.

sizzorchan assessment of you is right. "Sense is priceless"

I don't know what to say. Read and comprehend. I tried to be polite and simple as i could. I talked about scholars twisting ideologies and beliefs. You don't know the situation in the roots. Its an education problem. Illiteracy is the fuel for this insurgency.

sizzorchan:
Like the fool says, "Sense is priceless"

Now this fool is now comparing individuals who aren't kids, some are over 16, who made a conscious decision to go overseas and join terror networks, to a poor kid in Nigeria who probably never had a choice in what he was made to do or people he was forced to associate with? or how he ended up there.
You are right, sense is indeed priceless, and yours is faulty.

Give that boy a choice btw living in the forest with bunch of terrorists or live with a loving family, which one do you think he'd choose? What an idiotic comparison.

Do me a favor dude, quit quoting me, get a life and stop reviving old posts

Bro, i get what you meant. But about giving these kids choices, its very different than what you think. I happened to live in rural kano for more than a year. A place where you couldn't access mobile network most of the time. I lived among almajiris. I noticed something. Every kid goes to an islamiyya. From a tender age, you get to be soaked into the fundamentals of Islam. Each islamiyya has its scholars. An each scholars wants to have more followers. So some scholars manipulates the teaching of Islam to change the idealogy of the kids. My point is alot of people in that rural area don't mind joining ISWAP. They hate boko haram cause it kills Muslims. Those kids wanna join those terrorists organisations because they feel its the right way. They feel its an obligation. Don't get me wrong. I'm Muslim too. I don't hate on people beliefs

Blixon:
Number is not really the problem. It’s the quality of people. With my current friends and hungry people I know, they will disgrace me at the wedding. They will fight for rice and even drinks and I don’t want that. I don’t even know a single person who can spray money on me on my day. My uncles are just drunks who are waiting for my dad to die so they can drag inheritance. I would rather want the guests to be people that will make my day fun and successful. A few white people here and there and money sprayers would be a dream come true. I don’t even need the money sprayers money, they can just spray and have someone pick every piece of the money they sprayed and returned to them.

Lol. I understand your plight. Everyone get stuck with disloyal people at a point in one's life. I do suggest you should have a private wedding. You are not getting married to impress anyone. Get few reliable and loyal friends/relatives. In our Nigerian context, you could throw a posh wedding and later have problems in your marriage cos your relatives will think you are so rich and they will always disturb you. They might even go diabolical. Bro, make quality friends. You will need quality people in your life. People that will render help when you feel your situation is helpless. Just think about it

Lol. Me that is planning to have few people at my wedding. What do you need alotta people for?

Jeez. Is this how SA buries all of its troops or this one is a high medal recipient? Just asking cos the activities are alot

komekn:
Rebadged and Chinese manufactured sub standard Mig21's, I reallu do not know what there is to like.

From all indication the alpha jets 25 years plus have proved more reliable.

Lol. There are our airforce interceptors. Do we have any other one apart from the 3 units of Jf17s? Lol. We argue a lot about procurements abeg. I just miss its airstrikes clips

cutievik:
Where are they?

PDM. According to sources here, they are at China. When last you watched its airstrikes?

I miss this birds
